If THE egg shellsare thin it is a sigh
that lime is lacking in the food, or
often, If this occurs in winter, that
fowls cannot get to the ground to fill
their gizzards with gravel needed to
digest food properly. Leghorn hens
and other persistent layers generally
have very thin shelled eggs despite all
precautions in feeding. Many losses
Of eggs while undergoing incubation
occur from this cause. To prevent
eggs from being thin shelled It Is better
to give milk and wheat middhn2s
mixed rather than rely on fowls eating
a suficiency Of lime in any form. II
egg shells are fed they should be
pounded so fine that all appearance OF
the egg will be destroyed. More fowls
learn to eat eggs from having nearly
whole shells thrown to them to peck at
than from any other

WHITES OF EGGs.-When yelks only
are called for in a pudding or custard
the raw whites can be put upon a plate
and dried by gentle heat until they can
be easily powdered. In this condition
they can be kept perfectly free from
moisture in a closed glass jar. When
they are required for use, mix them
with half their measure Of cold water
until they are completely dissolved;
they will be as available as the fresh
whites and can be even beaten to a

Prof. Hughes has shown that a
stranded iron wire cable has less self
induction than n Of the same mass of
metal formed into a solid wire. The
explanation of this is that the circular
field of magnetic force around the axis
which exists inside the wire as well as
outside, is not as strong in the interior
of the stranded iron cable as in the in-
terror of the solid iron rod. The
stranding reduces the magnetic per-
meabllity along lines which are circles
described around the axis, and hence
reduces the self-conductlon.
